In their first home game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are hosting Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) At the MA Chidambaram stadium. However, The start of the play was delayed as a dog entered the playing field at the Chepauk and the security personnel took some time to get him out.
Earlier in the game, LSG skipper, KL Rahul won the toss and decided to bowl first as they wanted to have a definite target in mind. During the toss, he said, “We’ll bowl first. We want to know what we are chasing. It was a really good performance against DC, all parts of the game we did well. We need to turn up again today and better those performances. Jaydev Unadkat misses out, Yash Thakur comes in.”
On the other hand, CSK skipper, MS Dhoni said, “Does mean a lot to be back here. IPL started in 2008 but we’ve not played a lot of cricket here. Only about 5-6 seasons we’ve been here. This is the first time the full stadium will be operational, a few stands were empty earlier.”
He further added, “Really glad that we get to play all our home games here at Chepauk, means a lot. Same squad for this game. Need to keep assessing our situation and keep revisiting our targets, keep a realistic goal in mind and take it from there.”
